“Early on in “Funny Girl,” after Fanny and Nick kiss for the first time, McCrimmon does a brief tap step jig of excitement that maybe lasts a second, at most. It’s a visual riff that Streisand originated, and which “Funny Girl” fanatics likely recognize.

In an insightful article in Performance magazine, about theater performers in roles indelibly tied to megastars, McCrimmon acknowledges that “for many people, Fanny and Barbara are one.”

Probably so. But while in front of us, Katerina McCrimmon accomplishes the unfathomable — she makes the role her own.”
